{{DTN|time=05:15, October 30, 2009 (UTC)|text=Like I said before, appearance information for Heartless and Nobodies is usually so simple that it is insufficent to have an "Appearance" section. I suggest that we wait for the thoughts of KrytenKoro, since he is the one who sent LapisScarab here. Plus, he started this topic, so probably has the most detailed outlook. Ping?}}

{{KrytenKoro|Actu..ually, I started the topic because I didn't want to have to decide. I personally am fine with either choice, I just want to make sure it's what we all agreed on so that we can decide what it should be like.
If we ''do'' decide to do it, I think the appearance section should specifically be based around explaining the origin of the design - with the Gargoyle, it should be "In European mythology, [[wikipedia:Gargoyle|Gargoyle]]s are an x", and explaining stuff like that. I don't think we need a ''full'' rundown , like "They have the yellow shiny eyes", etc., just what makes them unique. However, it's definitely important to note where their emblem is.}}
{{TNE|time=11:35, October 30, 2009 (UTC)|happytext=Good thinking. Shall we all go with this ? I say yes !}}
Okay, makes sense to me. [[User:LapisScarab|LapisScarab]] 18:55, October 30, 2009 (UTC)
{{TNE|time=02:57, October 31, 2009 (UTC)|attntext=Adding on to Kryten's "shiny eyes part" is another question : like say, we don't want to describe all the obvious features of the Cannon Gun, but there's also a Final Mix equivalent and a few more Days equivalents I think. So, for Heartless like these, we do have to explain the features, right ?}}
{{DTN|time=03:08, October 31, 2009 (UTC)|text=Basically, what makes the Heartless/Nobody unique. The section should ''usually'' be able to accuratly answer this question: ''"How does the Heartless/Nobody's name relate to their appearance?"'' The names of enemies usually come from their appearance. However, this isn't true for some enemies, such as Darkside, Twilight Thorn, Kurt Zisa... however, it should apply to just about every non-boss enemy.}}
{{TNE|time=03:11, October 31, 2009 (UTC)|text=Okay, so if the name comes from the appearance, then we won't put in an appearance section unless there's a background to it. If it doesn't, we will give it brief mention in the introduction. If it doesn't and there is a background story about the appearance, then we'll have an appearance section ready.}}
{{DTN|time=03:17, October 31, 2009 (UTC)|text=Hmmm... I'm a little confused. And, on another note, what you just said reminds me of the Transitive Property. Could you give me an example(s)?}}
{{TNE|time=03:32, October 31, 2009 (UTC)|attntext=Okay, say we have the Grim Reaper. The name doesn't actually explain its appearance entirely, but its appearance is based on an Inca god. And it's got a pendulum-like thing that we'd qualify for a scythe. So yeah, it should have its appearance section.
And then, we have Kurt Zisa, whose name doesn't go with the appearance at all. Thus we'll have a section for etymology and appearance. The etymology for Kurt Zisa's currently in the Trivia section, though I'm not sure what we should do with it.
Finally, we have something like Blue Rhapsody. We all know it's a blue Magic Heartless, so whatever description should be just limited to the introduction. So far, is it clear ?}}
